Building and dependency management for GeoMesa is handled by Maven (http://maven.apache.org/).
The Maven pom.xml file in the root directory of the source distribution contains an explicit
list of dependent libraries that will be bundled together for each module of the program.

Note

The only reason dependent libraries are bundled into the final JAR is to make it easier
to deploy files rather than setting the classpath. If you would rather not bundle these
dependencies, mark them as “provided” in the POM, and update your classpath as appropriate.

The versions of Accumulo supported in GeoMesa 1.3.x are Accumulo 1.7 or 1.8:

$ mvn clean install

The skipTests property may be used to speed compilation. Set it to true
to omit the test phase of the build process:

geomesa-accumulo: the implementations of the core Accumulo indexing structures, Accumulo iterators, and the GeoTools interfaces for exposing the functionality as a DataStore to both application developers and GeoServer. Assembles a jar with dependencies that must be distributed to Accumulo tablet servers lib/ext directory or to an HDFS directory where Accumulo’s VFSClassLoader can pick it up.

geomesa-accumulo-compute: utilities for working with distributed computing environments. Currently, there are methods for instantiating an Apache Spark Resilient Distributed Dataset from a CQL query against data stored in GeoMesa. Eventually, this project will contain bindings for traditional map-reduce processing and other environments.

geomesa-accumulo-gs-plugin: provides WFS and WMS support for GeoServer. Install by extracting into geoserver/WEB-INF/lib/.

geomesa-accumulo-jobs: map/reduce jobs for maintaining GeoMesa.

geomesa-accumulo-raster: adds support for ingesting and working with geospatially-referenced raster data in GeoMesa.

geomesa-blobstore: an Accumulo-based store designed to store and retrieve files which have spatio-temporal data associated with them.

geomesa-cassandra: an implementation of GeoMesa on Apache Cassandra.

geomesa-cassandra-gs-plugin: provides WFS and WMS support for GeoServer. Install by extracting into geoserver/WEB-INF/lib/.

geomesa-convert: a configurable and extensible library for converting data into SimpleFeatures.

geomesa-features: includes code for serializing SimpleFeatures and custom SimpleFeature implementations designed for GeoMesa.

geomesa-filter: a library for manipulating and working with GeoTools Filters.

geomesa-hbase: an implementation of GeoMesa on HBase and Google Cloud Bigtable.

geomesa-hbase-gs-plugin: provides WFS and WMS support for GeoServer. Install by extracting into geoserver/WEB-INF/lib/.

geomesa-index-api: common structure and methods for indexing and querying simple features.

geomesa-kafka: an implementation of GeoMesa in Kafka for maintaining near-real-time caches of streaming data.

geomesa-kafka-gs-plugin: provides WFS and WMS support for GeoServer. Install by extracting into geoserver/WEB-INF/lib/.

geomesa-native-api: a non-GeoTools-based API for persisting and querying data in GeoMesa Accumulo.

geomesa-process: analytic processes optimized on GeoMesa data stores.

geomesa-security: adds support for managing security and authorization levels for data stored in GeoMesa.

geomesa-stream: a GeoMesa library that provides tools to process streams of SimpleFeatures.

geomesa-tools: a set of command line tools for managing features, ingesting and exporting data, configuring tables, and explaining queries in GeoMesa.

geomesa-utils: stores our GeoHash implementation and other general library functions unrelated to Accumulo. This sub-project contains any helper tools for geomesa. Some of these tools such as the GeneralShapefileIngest have Map/Reduce components, so the geomesa-utils JAR lives on HDFS.
